CHAPTER: 10: JONAH (THE QURAN)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful (1)
He gives life and brings death, and to Him you shall be returned. (56) O men, there has come to you an advice from your Lord, and a cure for the ailments of your hearts, and guidance and mercy for the believers. (57) Say, “With the grace of Allah and with His mercy . So they should rejoice in it. It is much better than that which they accumulate. (58)
CHAPTER 16: BEES:
And from the fruits of date palms and grape vines, you obtain intoxicants, and good provision. Surely, in that there is a sign for a people who understand. (67) Your Lord revealed to the honeybee: “Make homes in the mountains, in the trees and in the structures they raise. (68) Then, eat from all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord made easy for you.” From their bellies comes out a drink of various colours in which there is cure for people. Surely, in that there is a sign for a people who ponder.
CHAPTER 17: THE NIGHT JOURNEY:
And say, “O my Lord, make me enter a rightful entrance and make me exit a rightful exit, and grant me from Your Own a power, favoured .” (80) And say, “Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is surely bound to vanish.” (81) We reveal the Qur’an, which is cure and mercy for the believers; and it adds nothing to the unjust but loss. (82) When We bestow Our favour upon man, he avoids and keeps himself far aside , and when some evil touches him, he is in total despair. (83) Say, “Everyone acts in his own style. So, your Lord knows best which one is better guided in his way.” (84) And they ask you about the soul. Say, “The soul is something from the command of my Lord, and you are not given from the knowledge but a little.” (85)
CHAPTER 41: EXPOUNDED:
Surely those who adopt perversity about Our verses are not hidden from Us. So, tell me which one is better: the one who is thrown into the Fire, or the one who will come safely on the Day of Judgement? Do whatever you wish. He is watchful of whatever you do. (40) Surely those who have rejected the advice when it came to them. And surely, it is an unassailable book (41) That cannot be approached by falsehood, neither from its front, nor from its behind __a revelation from the All-Wise, the Ever-Praised. (42) Nothing is being said to you but what has been said to the messengers before you. Your Lord is certainly the Lord of forgiveness and the Lord of painful punishment. (43) Had We made it a non-Arabic Qur’an, they would have said, “Why are its verses not clearly explained? Is it a non-Arabic and an Arab ?” Say, “For those who believe, it is guidance and cure. As for those who do not believe, there is deafness in their ears, and for them it is blindness. Such people are being called from a distant place.” (44)

Taught 1400 years ago... The bottom line is that the Quran will be useful if understood as a means to be saved from hell fire.Have you seen him who denies the Requital? (1) So, he is the one who pushes away the orphan, (2) And does not persuade to feed the needy. (3) So, Woe to those performers of Prayer , (4) Who are neglectful of their Prayer, (5) Who show off, (6) And refuse small gifts. (7) CHAPTER 107:
SHOW OFF AND IMMORALITY IS THE CHARACTER OF THOSE UNFORTUNATE MUSLIMS WHO HAVE NO BELIEF IN THE RELIGION OF ALLAH AND HAVE NO FAITH IN THE DAY OF RECOMPENSE. NOT ONLY PRAYER, BUT OUR ALL OTHER ACTIONS ARE NEVER PURE OF SHOW OFF, OSTENTATION AND SELF-DISPLAY. OUR AIM IS TO PLEASE THE OTHER MUSLIMS AND NOT ALLAH..............
